Random stat: Rodney Hood is only shooting .200 on threes in the playoffs through first five games.

I'd much rather have Neto than old Tony Parker.


Lets assume Neto leaves for more money and Exum is going to be the main backup. Would Tony then make sense?

He is great at the strait down the pipe three from the top of the three point line. I wonder if the Cavs are sticking him in the corner or above the break where he has been less effective.

Not in my humble opinion. The Spurs only played him 13.4 mpg in the recent playoff and his performance was poor. I think he has reached his expiration date. He's got over 45,000 NBA minutes on those legs plus years of France national team minutes. I'd rather have a hungry young guy on a lower dollar contract.

That's what I would have assumed and exactly the type of answer I was looking for. Thanks.

Brad Stevens is showing once again that he is hands down the best coach in the nba. Just an incredible coach. Hopefully this jinxes him because I hate the celtics but you still have to respect them.

He is good. Top 5 good. But I also see a good GM who has built the deepest and most versatile roster.

He is great and paired with arguably the best gm in the league is an incredible combination. His ability to adjust his game plan and develop young players is amazing.

Can’t argue with that. Doesn’t hurt to be in a market with a legendary history either.

Sounds like Spurs and KL are about to part ways. KL people want him is a big market from sounds of it. Good player but should'v gave his all this year. I think he could'v went and didn't. Pretty sad thing to do.

The Cavs have got to have the ugliest "offense" in the league. Whoever happens to have the ball just dribbles, goes one on one and shoots no matter what. I think Lebron might be the only player that passes. It's ugly to watch.

Perhaps you did not watch OKC playing against The Jazz. OKC, hands down, is the ugliest.

Lebron Jaaaaaaaames is amazing. What a game. And this time he got a little help for his teammates.

Huge win for the series.

Loved it.

I didn't find OKC nearly as bad.

Stevens is the one who has built the roster. His ability to make them look better than what they actually are has enabled Danny Ainge to ream other teams in trades.

I don’t understand what you mean. Ainge is the one who had the balls to trade away Garnett and Pierce at the end of the careers and started the whole rebuild.

Why I think resigning Favs to a one (maybe two year with team option) deal is a real option. He can sign for big bucks on a one year deal and then look for a longer bigger contract next offseason when more teams have space.
